Jabal al-Druze
Jabal al-Druze (, Mountain of the Druze), officially Jabal al-Arab (Arabic: جبل العرب, Mountain of the Arabs), is an elevated volcanic region in the As-Suwayda Governorate of southern Syria. Most of the inhabitants of this region are Arab Druze, and there are also small Muslim and  Christian communities. Safaitic inscriptions were first found in this area. The State of Jabal Druze was an autonomous area in the French Mandate of Syria from 1921 to 1936. In the past, the name Jabal al-Druze was used for a different area, located in Mount Lebanon.
